Here are 5 NFT Games to Play and Earn Crypto Rewards
These games have tokenized in-game assets allowing players to collect them as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In order to help gamers make money for playing, NFT games allows players to accumulate and trade playable characters, weapons, vehicles and other in-game assets as NFTs. Depending on the rules of each game, the players can either sell their NFTs for profits, or accumulate them until they yield crypto rewards from the game without having to let go of their assets.
People with inclination towards gaming as well as the crypto space are seemingly entering into the NFT gaming vibe.
For instance, Sky Mavin, the Vietnamese parent of NFT game “Axie Infinity” has reached a market valuation of nearly a whopping $3 billion (roughly Rs. 22,377 crores) in recent times. In addition, the native Ethereum blockchain-based crypto token of Axie Infinity game called “AXS” touched an all-time high of over $155 (roughly Rs. 11,500) on October 4.
Here are five games you can play to earn cryptocurrencies
Gods Unchained: Launched in September 2020, this is a free-to-play card game that combines NFT components to traditional card trading game. Players have to get high ranking cards from other players by winning matches.
The high-quality cards can then be traded for cryptocurrencies on the platform’s marketplace. The game is built on Ethereum blockchain, hence players complete transactions Ether.
Sorare: This one goes out to the soccer fans out there. Sorare is a fantasy soccer game where players have to purchase, sell, trade and manage a virtual team. The game represents players via digital cards built on Ethereum blockchain.
Players can earn either cash or Ether crypto by creating a team using football player cards and participating in competitions. Ether tokens are rewarded to players as prizes in this game that was developed in 2018. Ether, is world’s second-most valued cryptocurrency.
Evolution Land: It’s a new-world game that has 26 continents contained by the elements of land, fire, gold, water, wood, and silicon. Players have to indulge in activities like construction, mining, science in player-versus-player format. Players require to create crypto wallets to send, receive, and manage crypto assets from other players, as well as in the form of game rewards.
F1 Delta Time: Ethereum blockchain-based car racing game where players need to collect including cars, drivers, components, and trinkets as fungible tokens – that are small, divisible tokens that can be used to make larger crypto amounts.

As per research platform Statista, the global gaming market will value around $200 billion (roughly Rs. 14,94,768 crores) by 2023. The overall capitalization of the NFT market, meanwhile, reached to value over $22 billion in 2021.
“At Xbox, we believe that with better tools, creators can make even more extraordinary games,” Haiyan Zhang, GM, Xbox Gaming AI, said in a blog post. “This partnership will bring together: Inworld’s expertise in working with generative AI models for character development, Microsoft’s cutting-edge cloud-based AI solutions including Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft Research’s technical insights into the future of play, and Team Xbox’s strengths in revolutionizing accessible and responsible creator tools for all developers.”
The aforementioned AI design copilot is a toolset that will help game designers turn prompts into scripts and dialogue trees. In contrast, the character runtime will enable dynamically generated plot beats and quests. We’ve already seen heavy AI integration in games by way of procedural generation — a more recent example being the 1000+ planets in Starfield. Not to mention, enemy AI has been around for way longer.
Inworld made headlines in August when it launched a modded story mode for Grand Theft Auto V, Sentient Streets, in which players had to investigate the rise of a bizarre AI-worshipping cult — a segment loaded with characters that spoke in AI-generated dialogue, on the fly. The mod was later taken down by publisher Take-Two, leaving a permanent strike on the creator Bloc’s YouTube channel. As per The Verge, Inworld’s AI technology can also be used for narration in top-down RPGs to warn players about any events awaiting off-screen and respond to questions like we’ve seen in the past year with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Bing Chat. Microsoft has also been heavily banking on artificial intelligence, having made a $10 billion (about Rs. 83,254 crore) investment in OpenAI. The company has also integrated AI tools into its popular suite of services and also added an AI copilot to Windows.
Despite being a Microsoft-affiliated AI toolset, it would be interesting to see whether titles using them will be allowed to thrive on other platforms. In July, Valve claimed that it would be cracking down on games that included AI-generated assets if the developer didn’t own the copyright to the piece of art. For the uninitiated, when you insert a prompt to create something in AI, the software simply repurposes existing assets found online and mushes them together — basically stealing from other artists and writers without appropriate commercial licenses. Infringing them would lead to the game not being distributed on Steam, forcing the developers to seek proper licenses for the asset by reaching out to the AI companies involved. It’s unclear how Microsoft’s partnership will play out — as long as AI content is being used as a catalyst to innovate and create something new, it should be fine.
